This article presents results from a project on dance and music with 16 dancers at different levels of experience who worked with a choreographer for an upcoming performance. The focus was on the participating dancers’ perceptions of how they, through impro- visational models, created movement in small groups, communi- cated these dance sequences to each other and how they perceived these instructions. The research methods were observations and semi-structured interviews where categories emerged during the study process. The results showed that the strategies that the dancers used most considered visualisation, auditory, tactile/kines- thetic senses.
